A bomb calorimetric experiment was run to determine the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol. The reaction is The bomb had a heat c

apacity of 490 J/K, and the calorimeter contained 730 g of water. Burning 4.40 g of ethanol, resulted in a rise in temperature from 16.8 °C to 20.5 °C. Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol, in kJ/mol. (The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.184 J/g ⋅ K.) Enthalpy of combustion = kJ/mol

Answer:

The enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58  kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the bomb and water is equal to the product of the heat  capacity and the temperature change. Working with this equation, and assuming no heat is lost to  the surroundings, we write :

qcal= Ccal × ΔT= 490 J/K × 276.7 K= <u>135,583 J</u> = 135.58 kJ

Note we expressed the temperature change in K, because the heat capacity is written in K.

<u> Now that we have the heat of combustion, we need to calculate the molar heat.  </u>

Because qsystem = qrxn + qcal and qrxn = -qcal, the heat change of the reaction is -135.58 kJ.

This is the heat released by the combustion of 4.40 g of ethanol ; therefore, we can write  the <u>conversion factor as 135.58 kJ/ 4.40 g</u>.

The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g, so the heat of combustion of 1 mole of ethanol is :

molar heat of combustion= -135.58 kJ/4.40 g x 46.07 g/ 1 mol= -1419.58 kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58  kJ/mol.

The reaction below is at equilibrium. What would happen if more carbon were
schepotkina [342]

Explanation:

C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons CO_{2(g)}

<em>According to <u>le ch</u></em><em><u>-</u></em><em><u>atelier'</u></em><em><u>s</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>principle</u> when a chemical reaction at equilibrium subjected to any stress, then the equilibrium shifts in that direction in which effect of stress is reduced.</em>

When we would add more number of carbon in above reaction then rate of forward reaction will increase to attain the equilibrium again.

Should someone who lives on the sixth floor of an apartment building be concerned about radon in his or her apartment? Why or wh
torisob [31]

Answer:

The person should not be concerned about radon.

Explanation:

<em>A person living on the sixth floor of an aparment probably should not be concerned about radon</em>. In the conditions of the Earth's atmosphere (temperature and pressure), radon exists as a gas. This gas has a density that is approximately 8 times higher than the density of air (9.73 g/L compared to 1.22 g/L). <em>This means that radon gas would not rise, and instead remain close to the ground</em>, meaning that an apartment on a sixth floor is too far away from the ground for radon gas to reach there.

A gas being denser than air is also the reason why if you blow into a balloon, it will fall to the ground, because CO₂ is denser than air.

A researcher wants to test the solubility (property of being dissolved) of salt in water as the temperature of the water increas
Leya [2.2K]
The researcher may first weight the beaker with water and then start to heat the water to a constant temperature, for example 30 °C and then start adding salt and stirring. He should add salt slowly until solid salt starts to become visible and the solution starts becoming cloudy. When this happens, he should quickly weigh the beaker. The increase in mass is the mass of salt dissolved at that temperature.
The procedure is then repeated but at an increased temperature until 5-6 temperatures have been tested.
